๐Fruitless afternoon for Scarlets losing 29-18 to Lions in Johannesburg (4-2 try count)
Penalty try and late Joe Roberts effort not enough as the Lions hookers score 3 tries between them
Scarlets will hope for locks Ball & Lousi to return against Sharks next week

Typical hard fought derby but short in quality after flying start from Cardiff

๐Cardiff maintain 10 point lead for middle 40 mins of game and earn BP on the hour with Southworth try
Decent crowd at RP- illustrating tribal public support to WRU- but not getting home performance they deserve

๐Cardiff lead Dragons 17-7 at HT with back row of Mann, Faletau & Dan Thomas crossing in efficient first quarter
Coghlan the only try for Dragons who miss pen chances, also losing Dyer & Hunt to injury in bruising encounter
Cardiff benefit from pen count in their favour

Bowen with the try from Sheedy X-kick. Could/should have been more given the amount of pressure. Back three looking good and some key turnovers won, but Teddy Williams stretchered off with leg injury.

Compared with the Rachel Heyhoe Flint trophy and Charlotte Edwards Cup apparently. I know itโs probably not like for like since we had more double headers with menโs games which were easier logistically.
